Music Monday: Peace be still
Today’s song is another from John Finch’s Wildfire album, “Peace be still”:
There is one name that can tame
the raging seas of my heart
through every trial and every fear
Jesus, I know You’re near
Peace be still
Peace be still
In the name of Jesus
In my affliction, You are my shield
You never let me go
Your word is comfort, Your name is power
I rest in You my Savior
In the sleepless nights
In the darkest times
You are there with me
When the morning comes
And I can feel the sun
You are there with me
Music Monday: Wildfire
Here’s the title track from the new John Finch album, Wildfire:
You are my hearts one desire
Cleanse my soul with Your fire
You make me anew
You make me anew
You are a flame alive in me
Within my heart burning deep
You shine through the dark
You shine through the dark
It’s burning, burning, burning
Spreading wild and free
It’s burning burning, burning
Like a wildfire in me, like a wildfire in me
As an ember fades away
My soul gets tired, I need Your grace
You give me life
You give me life
Uncontrollable
Oh so beautiful
Your love consumes me
It’s unstoppable
Oh so powerful
Your love consumes me
Music Monday: Wood and Nails
While I’m waiting for Audrey Assad to release more music videos for her new album, Evergreen, here’s a video from a collaboration project, The Porter’s Gate Project. This is “Wood and Nails”:
O humble carpenter, down on your hands and knees,
look on your handiwork and build a house so you may dwell in me,
so you may dwell in me…
The work was done with nothing
but wood and nails in your scarborne hands,
O show me how to work and praise,
trusting that I am your instrument
The kingdom’s come and built
upon wood and nails gripped with joyfulness,
So send me out with in Your ways,
knowing that the task is finished
The dead will rise and give you praise,
wood and nails will not hold them down!
These wooden tombs, we’ll break them soon,
and fashion them into flower beds
The curse is done, the battle one,
swords bent down to plowshares,
Your scareborne hands, we’ll join with them,
serving at the table you’ve prepared
Music Monday: Gracious Tempest
I haven’t shared a Hillsong video in a while. This is “Gracious Tempest”…
Your love towers over me
Gracious tempest in the sea
Your love is like a storm
Let this tide of mercy rain
Let it flood my heart again
Surround me like an ocean
Your love is crashing over me
Surging like a raging sea
Immerse me in the wonder of Your love
A downpour of unending grace
Consuming all my reckless ways
My sins submerged
Your love has saved my soul
Your love is like a storm
A downpour of unending grace
Consuming all my reckless ways
My sins submerged
Your love has saved my soul
Your love is like a storm x4
Music Monday: All My Hope
I’ve been listening to more and more Crowder recently. He’s “All my Hope”, featuring Tauren Wells…
I’ve been held by the Savior
I’ve felt fire from above
I’ve been down to the river
I ain’t the same
A prodigal returned
All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
All my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood
I’m no stranger to the prison
I’ve worn shackles and chains
But I’ve been freed and forgiven
I’m not going back
I’ll never be the same
That’s why I sing
There’s a kind of thing
That just breaks a man
Break him down to his knees
God, I’ve been broken more than a time or two, yes, Lord
Then He picked me up
And showed me what it means to be a man
Come on and sing
Music Monday: In the silence
Today’s song is “In the silence” by Sarah Kroger from her album “Your Time”:
In the silence of the heart you speak,
and your mercy is the air I breathe.
You come to me in whispers
and forgiveness sings.
In the silence of the heart you speak;
Lord, you speak.
To the quiet of this room you come;
I am captivated by this love.
You light these darkened corners,
and I’m overcome.
To the quiet of this room you come;
Lord, you come.
Silence, fall; oh I am listening.
I am listening; sing to me.
Spirit, fall; oh please stay with me.
I am listening now;
I am listening now.
In the stillness of my soul you know;
you are hope that will not let me go.
You are the voice I follow;
you lead me home.
In the stillness of my soul you know;
Lord, you know.
